The Ford Capri Laser Page

Will keep us out of the way and should be nice and sunny over there too!
Thanks Peter for sorting

I've just been sent a picture from someone so it appears to have made it into print!

Considering the amount of times over the last 30 years there have been rumblings about bringing back the Capri name, I can't imagine a worse way to do it than by making it electric

Some had single leaf, others had multi leaf - but they are interchangeable so singles will fit cars that came with multis and vice versa

I will be listed as a stunt driver on IMDB

Does 'Consultant mechanic' get a mention as well

Nice one Danny

Haha luckily she needed little on the way of mechanics! The original plan was to use the Laser but due to the catastrophic failure of the MOT a week prior we had to change cars

Remind me to ask you for your autograph the next time I see you.

Haha I'll have to start charging!

Awesome stuff. What is that building in the final shot? It's a semi abandoned house... You would have loved it Tom! Story goes that the old couple who lived there died and it was going through probate for their son to inherit it, then he died as well so has been sat for almost 10 years totally empt...

I forgot to post this at the time but a back in early January I became a minor film star ⭐ One of my brothers old school friends is an independent filmmaker and had been sat on an idea for a film for years and it was always his plan to base the whole film in/around an old classic car and - somewhat ...

Just chatting to Alice and she reckons she has seen the chap there a few times as well so would be interested to see if there are any other fiestas on his page 😂 There's a young lady driving this Fiesta. Is this Alice? https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51561238532_6e040e5c65_b.jpg M593 CAM - 1994...

Unfortunately for Alice (and also me by extension) everyone under the sun says this at some point so whilst I don't know the song first hand I'm aware of it's existence

Haha yep that's me! I used to have two pairs that matched so each side had a matching pair, but some plonker broke one when changing the tyres and cracked one on the other side 🙄 Original ford wheel trims are now silly money so I just live with it haha Just chatting to Alice and she reckons she has ...

Not sure if it will make it in but I was papped at the same place again last weekend in the fez!

I assume the usual crowd are coming - if not they will have their membership revoked

Buzzing for it already

Seems like you have done everything so providing parts all work as they should and aren't faulty I could only guess that it must be one of the settings on the carb/plugs/points unless the compression is down on one/all of the cylinders?

Just so I can join in, cars I have owned;

1.6Laser
2.0GL
3.0S
MK3 fiesta

That is all, and I still own them all

Count me in! Looking forward to it.

Hi Paul, not sure if you have heard anything from Kris but he posted the below on InstaSpam today

Kris has a relativey successful presence on the capri scene... Several social media pages etc and has managed to start his own workshop based off the back of it and currently has three cars in from customers he is apparently restoring for them I know he is based in Ireland somewhere so maybe he is w...

The car has only done 87k Ish miles. New filter just over three years ago, along with new flex plate and torque converter (well, as new as 40year old parts can be) so haven't touched it since as it has been working fine. Does the oil ever need regular changing or should I just change the filter agai...
